i'm officially a linux user!

i installed Ubuntu just a few hours ago. i've been trying to install WINE for about an hour now, but let's face it - i'm no computer expert. i switched to Linux cuz i just wasn't happy with the way my Windows was working.

so i'm running Ubuntu and i'm trying to install WINE. can someone either explain how to explain the program or direct me in the direction of a step by step tutorial that is written in human-speak?

so i read the "How To Install Software in Linux" tutorial and i got as far as "more README" command. this what happens when i type in the ./tools/wineinstall that the readme tells me to type:

WINE Installer v0.75
